The law of supply and demand and the rise of the Negro Conservative

The law of supply and demand in a virtual free market
is very simple. It is simply a law that correlates the
concept of value with the give and take of the supply
of and demand for a commodity. Currently, as far as
the nation is concerned, there is a glut or over
supply of the so-called outspoken black liberal.
Indeed, it would be fair to say that the nation,
meaning the plurality group, (white America) sees the
black liberal as a dime for a dozen. In other words,
one has to be an extraordinarily intelligent,
articulate, charismatic and untainted in order to be a
black liberal to break into the ranks of the most
quoted.

Contrarily, one would be lacking in the power of
observation if they did not note the promotion and
reward given to even the most intellectually and
charismatically constipated black conservatives, by
white conservatives and moderates. For example: The
non grammarian and barely audible Rev. Jesse Lee
Patterson. The reason that these individuals can get
so much attention and promotion in the electronic
media is simply from the fact that there is a big
demand for the Negro commodity who will speak out
against the Negro masses and their so-called liberal
leadership. In other words, “House Negroes” are in big
demand, like IT professionals were during the late
90’s.

Like the IT field of the late 90’s, the supply of IT
professionals did not meet demand, which resulted in
many non-IT professionals converting to the profession
in order to get the promotion of salary and social
status. In the same way, many soulless Negroes
recognize the higher premium of reward and promotion
that comes with parroting a conservative ideology, as
opposed to parroting the traditional black liberal
ideology. Consequently, they gradually rationalize
making the switch, because the collective interest of
black peoples is much lower in their value hierarchy
than their own quest for individual promotion, status
and attention.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how
the system works. Simply put; those who the system
promotes and rewards will in turn promote and reward
the system with its loyalty. This may not be an
absolute rule, but it is far greater than a general
rule as well. In light of this, the system of
conservatism is letting it be known that they are
offering rewards for the Negro who will speak out
against the masses of his or her own people, often, in
the process; parroting rhetoric that at its roots
implies a black inferiority doctrine. Indeed, you
would be correct in seeing this system of rewarding
and promoting intellectually and charismatically
constipated Negroes as the form of Affirmative Action
that they support, which is blatant hypocrisy. See the
rise of Clarence Thomas for a case study.

This is not to suggest that there are not black people
who truly believe in social conservatism as a
conclusion that they have come to independent of the
pull factor from white conservatism rewards. This is
also not to suggest that selling out is the only way
for blacks to rise and be promoted. However, it cannot
be denied that many blacks simply recognize that to be
promoted in certain circles, such as those seeking
rise in corporate America, that the adapting of
conservative ideology reduces the gravity to
ascendance. This is also true for whites as well.
Thus, in a nation that is becoming more and more
individualistic, it becomes easy for many to sell out
the black collective in exchange for personal
promotion. In the process, such individuals are often
coveted to speak the conservative rhetoric that would
get a white orator labeled a racist. The latter is the
prime benefit that the black social conservative
brings to the tables of white conservatism. In other
words, the blacks become the proxy middlemen and women
that allows base of white conservatives to promote a
doctrine of black inferiority, without the base being
labeled racist and white supremacist, due to their
black middlemen/women aka…House Negroes, Uncle Toms or
Benedict Arnolds…if you will.

With most of the black liberal organizations linked directly to the Democratic pary, there is a limited space for conservative black persons to be heard. When the liberal media want to "know what the black community" thinks about a topic the usually groups are contacted, NAACP, Journalist of color, etc.

Indeed, it would be fair to say that the nation,meaning the plurality group, (white America) sees theblack liberal as a dime for a dozen. When the black liberal group are all talking wiht the same voice, usually Democratic talking point, why is it necessary to listen to the same comments from multiple persons. But if a conservative person of color speaks out they are attacked as an 'oreo' a 'banana' etc. The current liberal thought is there is only one point of view that should be honored and all others should be lebeled as racist and silences.

Contrarily, one would be lacking in the power ofobservation if they did not note the promotion andreward given to even the most intellectually andcharismatically constipated black conservatives, bywhite conservatives and moderates. For example: Thenon grammarian and barely audible Rev. Jesse LeePatterson. The above quote is a perfect example of a racist attitude. I thought it was one of the tenets of liberalism that people could abd should speak with their "own" voices and be listened to by other people.

The reason that these individuals can getso much attention and promotion in the electronicmedia is simply from the fact that there is a bigdemand for the Negro commodity who will speak outagainst the Negro masses and their so-called liberalleadership. In other words, “House Negroes” are in bigdemand, like IT professionals were during the late90’s.Another racist remark! You are assuming that you and other liberal persons know what is best for the Negro community. That same attitude was used on the plantation by slave owners. Each person should decide for themselves what they think is best for them. If there is a monolithic 'black' community then that community can be labeled and marginalized by society. A good example of this occuring is the way the Democratic party assumes black will follow their line no matter how much it conflicts with their own interests or values.

In the same way, many soulless Negroesrecognize the higher premium of reward and promotionthat comes with parroting a conservative ideology, asopposed to parroting the traditional black liberalideology. Traditional black liberal ideology? Examples of this Consequently, traditional black liberal ideology: 1) pro-life, 2) pro-vouchers, 3) pro-religion, 4) proindividual responsibility? No wait a minute all those ideas are conservative ideas! WHy wouls all the black liberal groups support the antithesis of these ideas when the vast majority ogf blacks support the ideas? Maybe the black liberal groups think they know best and should think for all the other blacks?

Simply put; those who the system promotes and rewards will in turn promote and reward the system with its loyalty. This may not be an absolute rule, but it is far greater than a general rule as well. In light of this, the system of conservatism is letting it be known that they are offering rewards for the Negro who will speak out against the masses of his or her own people, often, in the process; parroting rhetoric that at its roots implies a black inferiority doctrine.This type of system feedback thinking applicable to all systems, but it pre-supposes that people can not think for themselves. That they will be loyal to the system that supports them, but how do they decide which system to be loyal to? Is it the luck of the draw that black liberals are attractedf to the Democratic party ann conservative blacks are attracted to the republican party?Thus, in a nation that is becoming more and moreindividualistic, it becomes easy for many to sell outthe black collective in exchange for personalpromotion. Black collective? Communism is dead! Enlightened self-interest is the engine that leads to the greatest economic increases. Colectivism will ensure that all are collectively poor and lacking in basic services.

Your first and biggest mistake was assuming that we are Liberal. Negro-Cons much like their white counterpart love to label things and then attack it by attacking all that is associated with that label. Thus on one hand the Negro-Cons we encounter label us Liberal, and attack liberalism, then they label us Communist and attack Communism without ever actually dealing with what we are saying. Let me help you understand so that you will not continue to make the foolish mistake of labeling our writing anything other than Black thought and Black introspection seeking upward mobility for Black men and women in America and in the Diaspora.

On any given day you will find something in my writings or the writings of Noah that you may consider similar to what you read concerning, communism, socialism, liberalism and yes even conservatism but the one thing you will find consistent in all of it is that it is written with the interest of Black men and women in mind. This is what confuses you individualistic Negro-Cons, you have your heads so far up your white counterpart ass that you can not or refuse to see that you are not free thinkers; you are part of a collective just as you accuse us of being part of a collective the only difference is we seek to help our people and the Negro-Con seek to help his or herself and their white counterpart.

If you would have not, maybe you should read my piece on poor whites and the republican party, in that I chronicle how the republican party much like you are doing here, are simply trying to appeal to Black men and women social leanings and not our social political leanings. So what you are pro-life, who gives a damn that you Negro-Cons and many other Black folk worship a white God this has nothing to do with racist sentencing guidelines, Negro-Con supporting racist whites attacks on Affirmative Action and other Social programs created to help lift Black men and women up.

The Negro-Con support social programs that help damn near every nation of people except the nation of people they come from. They support the Welfare state of Israel to the tune of three plus billion a year, you support Egypt and Jordan welfare states to the tune of one plus billion a year, and you support the brand new welfare state of Iraq to the tune of a half trillion a year so far. You Negro-Cons got a lot of damn nerves to behave in a self righteous manner with all your religiosity while hating your self and kind and opposing any governmental support in correcting past and current injustices being reaped on Black men and women.

Your ignorant Tirade teacher01 is the best example of a Black man gone astray and behaving like a Negro. Proof positive that you represent the same Circus, you are just a different clown.
